I was in a relationship with a girl for about a year. I kept making excuses when she'd slip up... when she'd cross a boundary and ask me if an ex-boyfriend could stay the night, when she'd go into a sex shop with an ex because she had no reliable form of transportation... but she told me on my birthday and our anniversary that she didn't love me. I broke up with her then because I finally believed in myself again.
She wouldn't confess it, even to the end, but I know she was cheating. I should have trusted my gut a long time ago, but she just told me I was paranoid, and manipulated, lied to, and betrayed me repeatedly. I think for awhile in that relationship, I thought it was my fault that she was cheating... that I wasn't doing enough to satisfy her... but you know what? She wasn't special. She had a wonderful relationship with me. I can find a woman who won't cheat, and I can give her the same level of commitment I gave my ex.
Have you ever been in an abusive relationship/been cheated on? How did you deal with it?
